He's great. A bit crazy, and dead, but great.
Bill Hicks.
He's as old as the hills. I was listening to Bill Hicks while on a long road trip with some comrades recently, he has a lot of anti-worker jokes which essentially take the piss out of people who aren't as educated, cool and liberal as him. They really put a stop to the laughter pretty quickly, also he's into conspiracys and mad stuff like that.

Lemme guess - you're a non-smoker?
It's better now the hype about him has died down, that was kinda annoying.

And besides, he's not 10 years too late, or at least he wasn't at the time, it's not his fault he's dead. And yeah being made into a cliche by nobs isn't his fault either really. His haircut and clothing though, that was definately his fault.
I'm downloadiing a Hicks show as we speak. Somehow I've not gotten around to listening to him, being somewhat prejudiced by his association with Denis Leary, whom I freakiing loath. If it's the same sort of smug ironic I'm so fucking clever hipster crap Leary dishes out it won't stay on my computer long.
My considered and probably unalterable opinon shall be forthcoming.

pretty much my feelings on him, Leary with liberal leftist rheotric.
actually the whole Liberal left in the states come across as smug cunts, that fanny John Stewart is not fucking funny, his jokes are obvious as fuck.

He's funny sometimes. But to be fair, US politics is hilarious anyway. Bill Hicks is massively over-rated.

Yeah, what's Marx done that was funny in the last hundred years?
Cunt.

If you get right down to it, what did Marx do that was funny when he was alive?
Capital and the Manifesto aren't exactly laugh riots.
Jef, that sounded like a decent made-up Hicks quote.

That was all down to Engels' editing. Grundrisse is full of knob jokes.
Leary is a cunt, I've seen him rip Bill Hicks gags nearly word for word. Except he's shit, he's just obnoxious and thinks that by shouting all the time and being REALLY REALLY ANGRY he's somehow got presence or is funny. I nearly killed the TV the first time I saw him, he should be put down.
So I just downloaded a Bill Hicks show. It's the first show of his I have heard, but I absolutely love this guy. If you're into cynical, pessimistic, socialistic humor, check him out, he's very worth it.
